Warner was hanged on the morning of March 9, 1888, at the Jeffersonville jail in Jeffersonville, Indiana, where he had been held, and was taken to the scaffold from there. The Lancaster Daily Intelligencer reported that he walked up the steps with a firm tread, examined the trap and handled the rope, and made a short speech before the drop fell. Rev. Mr. Roberts and W. H. Sheeter accompanied him, and thousands of people gathered around the jail. The Hope Pioneer published a brief item reporting the hanging and gave no further details.
